In a serious escalation, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) barred Palestinian worshippers from performing the dawn (Fajr) prayer inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron on Friday, forcing them to pray outside at the mosque's gates.

Roya’s correspondent reported that 'Israeli' forces used stun grenades to disperse worshippers and prevent them from entering the holy site. The assault sparked anger and frustration among the local community, many of whom had arrived despite strict military restrictions.

This latest incident is part of a series of ongoing violations targeting the Ibrahimi Mosque, seen by many as an attempt to assert full control over the site and restrict Muslim access to it.
